Yes, I think it's a reach, but gettable. At my lower T-14, people who have been gotten offers before on average are around top 1/3, however there are people below median who have too. With that said, I think MoFo is a fairly attractive firm, with not a very big summer class, so there's likely to be substantial competition.

I believe the interview schedule gets released on Aug 1st.

wow, that is very close to the actual event. I am still unsure whether or not I will actually go, and it depends on how many interviews I get. (ie. 1 or 2, unlikely, especially because they are most likely lottery picks).

That makes me feel a bit better, well, I already got the plane ticket and never been to SF, might as well plan to enjoy it.

I'm glad my failure is making someone feel better I also regret buying my ticket to the Bay Area Fair before the results came out.

I would not lose heart if you only got 1-2 interviews. Keep in mind that alternates have not come out yet. You may very well get 1 from those. Also, keep in mind that the lottery does account for 25%, and everyone has just a good chance at that, and the EV(lottery) = 1 interview. 2-3 interviews, especially given the preselects imply you have meet the grade threshold, = $2-300 plane ticket for sure. Enjoy SF! It's awesome in the summer time (check out a Giants game if you have the chance). Good luck!
